ABC has sparked wild conspiracy theories after mistakenly airing election results for Pennsylvania.
The results appeared on the ticker along the bottom of the screen during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV on Sunday.
It showed Kamala Harris taking the state with 52 percent of the votes, while Donald Trump's share was 47 percent.
It instantly prompted claims of election rigging on social media, with one person tweeting: 'The cheat is on.'
WNEP-TV said that the numbers came up on the screen in 'error' and that they had been 'randomly generated' as part of a test ahead of election night on November 5.

“Randomly generated” to ensure a Harris win.

A mistake. Randomly selected numbers. Test run. And yet, such things are never in Republicans’ favor.

The media calls Fla before the polls close. Lies about everything TRUMP. allows their “journalists “ to completely twist stores or leaves out the whole sound bite and runs just what THEY want people to see and hear. Half the time they don’t even cover the real news. Lies about riots, saying the riots are mostly peaceful. While right behind them people are setting fires to buildings and cop cars. Now I’m told by ABC to believe their election result projection is just pretend. The cheat is in. ABC goofed in showing it too soon. All of the media are just disgusting liars. Can’t be trusted at all

Something very similar to this happened in 2022. Before election day, an Arizona TV station displayed a “randomly generated” election results test on screen. The numbers showed Katie Hobbs (D) winning the governorship.

I think they showed those numbers on purpose. They are thumbing their nose at President Trump and his supporters, indicating they have more up their sleeve when they steal the election again. That is, they aren't worried in the slightest about the cheating, or anyone opposed to the cheating because they have the power of the Deep State to back them up!

Yeah, the numbers were right, the "mistake" was broadcasting them 8 days in advance...
Y'all KNOW where this is going, right?

If it was a test, why wouldn't you merely run the % at 50/50 to avoid any adverse comments, etc. Rather than skewing it ?

How many other times has ridiculous information popped up on these tickers?
What is it about this particular information that requires ABC to run random tests?
Shut them down on election night!

They did this once before as I recall and the winner was the Democrat in the real results. I continue to believe that this race isn't all as close as the media would have you believe, but to be honest I'm continuing to be afraid because the threat of the Big Cheat is very real. Who in their right mind would believe that Harris, who is devoid of the leadership gene (courtesy Holman Jenkins of the WSJ), could beat Trump or any other candidate? But overwhelm the Big Cheat with Republican votes!

I wouldn't believe CBS if they said the sun would rise in the east.

They know the polls are crooked with Democraps stuffing ballot boxes as fast as possible, so ABC, Always Been Crap, is reporting the FRAUD!
